just for everyone to know this car isnt going to be stripped to the shell. Its simply getting everything rotary related out because the engine is trashed...I jsut spent almost the entire day getting everything out of the car so we can pull the engine out tomorrow. If someone wanted to buy the car and drop in a rebuilt rotary more power to them...All it needs is a really clean long block etc. The ABS is still in there, Master cylinder is still in there. This car will not be ruined and trashed. The body is pretty straight and once its sold as a roller, it is probably one of the nicest rollers ive seen through-out the forum. Most i see are crap. This car has mint interior and will bew sold with a FULL interior. I know hte owner of the car and his intensions with it are nothing that you seem. Everyone calm down


FYI.. The roller is already probably sold

Thanks Charlie! I'm sitting here wondering the same thing? I have NO intention of stripping the car bare, but the engine and all the rotary parts are already on their way out. The main problem is that from the picture I took NOONE can tell the problems with the car. You all just see a perfect (most probably blown engine) FD. It definitely needs work and either myself or the new owner will take care of it.

Later,

Riz

Saw the car today. It definatly has alot of potential.

Riz is a stand up guy and you guys need to lay off the ranting on what he does with the car. He like my self has owned a FD for a long time and plans to stay rotary.

So is it bad to have a rotary and a LSx FD sitting next to each other in a garage? I don't think so. You could have an FD to drive everyday then have a FD to take to meets. Oh, did I just say that.

Just make it as light as possible and an NA rotay would be a blast to drive. Looks like I will have my work cut out for me next winter.
